Lutherans and Lightbulbs

So.... How many Lutherans does it take to change a lightbulb?

We read that we are to so fear and love God that we cannot by
our own effort or understanding comprehend the replacement of an
electromagnetic photon source. It is, rather by faith, not by our
efforts (effected toward the failed worldly incandescence), that we
truly see, and that our own works cannot fully justify us in the
presence of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Of course, the room
is still dark.

CHANGE?!?

17 : 5 to form a commitee to find and nominate 9 people to a
committee which shall then discuss the issues of light bulb
changing, from which that commitee shall appoint three other
people to carry out the final resolution of the second committee -
which is that one person shall supervise while one changes the
bulb and one will follow up in one month's time to investigate the
performance of the bulb.

There is some question here. But we have it on good authority
that they have appointed a committee to study
the issue and report back at their next meeting.

Five : one to change it and four to talk about how much they'll
miss the old one.

Thirteen : one to change the bulb, and a committee of twelve to
talk about how they miss the old one.

six to form a committee to study it. The property
committee will actually change it. The fellowship committee
organizes a pot-luck dinner, and after it's changed, people look
back and lament that the old one is gone, because that one shone the
way light bulbs were supposed to shine.

None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

Five:1 to screw in the lightbulb and four to organize the
potluck supper in memory of the old one.

3 : one to replace the bulb and two others to talk about the
days when bulbs were less expensive and more committed.

None! We like the old one better. Even if it is burned out, at
least it's cheaper!
